Sinclair, who represented Team GB at London 2012, has been heavily linked with the Premier League champions throughout the summer and now looks set for a move to the Etihad Stadium, although the fee is yet to be announced.

City are keen to complete the move for the former Chelsea trainee after selling winger Adam Johnson to Sunderland yesterday.

‘He [Sinclair] has been terrific for us, to be fair. We’ve had two seasons out of him and he was superb in the Championship and virtually his goals got us promotion,’ said Swansea first-team coach Alan Curtis.

‘Last year as well he wasn’t maybe quite as effective as he was his first year – obviously it was a lot tougher opposition – but he’s been absolutely magnificent.’

The 23-year-old was left out of the Swans’ squad to face West Ham on Saturday, despite coming off the bench to score in their opening day thrashing of QPR last weekend.

Sinclair had already refused to sign a new contract with the south Wales club earlier this summer, fuelling reports that an exit from the Liberty Stadium was imminent.

Pending his passing a medical and agreeing personal terms, Sinclair will become Roberto Mancini’s second signing of the transfer window – the Italian having brought Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell to the club two weeks ago.
